All right, let's try this then... Hate to make it hard for people to get
into a real newsreader.
OK, so for better or for worse, (and let's hope we don't confuzz the heck
out of net-newbies), in addition to there being a link in the left column
of the intro/home pages for the newsgroups, there's now a little icon at
the top of most pages. The icon is a little mini-screen newsreader picture
thingy, and beneath it reads "NNTP". The ALT text for the image says "Open
lugnet.foo in your NNTP Newsreader".
A couple of concerns:
1) I hope the display isn't becoming too cluttered at the top.
2) This doesn't yet address alternative NNTP ports -- just the main default/
standard port of 119.
